Node.js Tools dev here - excited to see this on HN! Happy to answer any Qs

Will any of the improvements make their way to Visual Studio Code? I've been using it for the past months and its been really nice.

Good question. From an engineering perspective, the codebases are different, so (with the exception of some components like JS/TS language service) the two will continue to evolve separately until we invest further in consolidating engineering efforts. From a product perspective, VS and VSCode appeal to different communities, and we need to be cognizant of that whenever we consider lighting up new functionality. Is there a specific feature or improvement you're especially excited about?

Nothing specifically, sorry. :) I'm getting back into the MS stack after a multiple year absence. VSCode works really nice and I expect the same from the latest VS version (which I have not used professionally yet). Dunno, just excited about diving back into the whole ecosystem.

This is awesome! Kudos to you and your team. I love using Visual Studio, been using since 6.0. It gets better with every update.

Is it worth learning Visual Studio just to write angular2 applications?
